Krisha has a chocolate Labrador retriever named Sam. She believes her dog weighs 60 pounds. Sam’s actual weight is 75 pounds. Find the percent error. (1 point)
To find the percent error, we need to calculate the difference between the estimated weight and the actual weight, and then divide that difference by the actual weight and multiply by 100.
Estimated weight = 60 pounds
Actual weight = 75 pounds
Difference = Actual weight - Estimated weight = 75 - 60 = 15 pounds
Percent error = (Difference / Actual weight) * 100
= (15 / 75) * 100
= 0.2 * 100
= 20%
Therefore, the percent error is 20%.
To find the percent error, you can use the following formula:
Percent Error = (|measured value - actual value| / actual value) * 100
In this case, the measured value is 60 pounds and the actual value is 75 pounds. Plugging in these values into the formula:
Percent Error = (|60 - 75| / 75) * 100
= (15 / 75) * 100
= 0.2 * 100
= 20%
So, the percent error is 20%.
To find the percent error, you need to calculate the difference between Krisha's estimate and the actual weight of Sam, and then divide it by the actual weight. Finally, multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.
First, subtract Krisha's estimate of 60 pounds from the actual weight of 75 pounds:
75 - 60 = 15
Next, divide the difference by the actual weight:
15 / 75 = 0.2
Finally, multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage:
0.2 * 100 = 20%
Therefore, the percent error in Krisha's estimate of Sam's weight is 20%.
